The director of Mamma Mia is making her all female Shakespeare trilogy available to schools to counter what she believes is a decimation of the provision of arts.
Phyllida Lloyd told Sky News she hopes the plays, which started life at the Donmar Warehouse, will inspire children - particularly those who have experienced cuts to their curriculum.
These are little Trojan horses that we are trying to get into schools where there's been an absolute decimation of the provision of arts in the last 10 years," she said.
"So a collapse in drama teaching, in students taking up GCSE drama, in drama teachers being in schools.
"The actors (in these plays) are all mindful of how do we inspire people who haven't come from privileged backgrounds, how can we give them the opportunities."
